Kickin It With Kidneys - Season 2, Episode 10: A Caregiver's Story Part I with Joanna Fuentes

This is the first in a series of three episodes that spotlight family caregivers of dialysis patients. By highlighting the experience of an actual caregiver KIWK achieves its goal of inclusivity and represents a spectrum of people affected by kidney disease.

In this episode, we hear from Joanna Fuentes who is a mother of three and taking care of her 90-year-old mother who began receiving dialysis treatments in 2019.  Joanna shares her heartwarming story of strength and sacrifice in providing hands-on care for her mother.  The KIWK panel discusses the resources needed for family caregivers, the challenges of intergenerational caregiving, and the importance of end-of-life decisions.
